Outdoor ritual on a raised platform under trees. Several young boys in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged; the foreground boy on the right wears rudraksha malas and holds beads, while another in orange works at a silver tray. A framed portrait on an easel behind shows a man in orange robes and rudraksha mala seated in meditation, one hand raised; the portrait is printed, not a physical person. A man in white with a mala sits behind the boys near a small brass vessel. A wooden stand and microphone stand are at left beside a draped deity figure in purple cloth.
